Getting the Right Number of Candidates

Is your profile overflowing with candidates who want to work for you?

Or is nobody finding you and your organization interesting?

Don’t worry

There’s a solution

Read this post to find out what you can do

First of all…

It’s great that you’ve started using the app

Well, at least you must have…

If you’re looking for the answer to this question

It all comes down to the choices you make

And what you write in your profile description

In other words…

You’re in control

You can turn things up or down

Just like adjusting a thermostat

Exactly what you should adjust…

That is a bit harder to answer

Because it depends entirely on your industry

And on how many – or how few – candidates

Match the types of profiles

You are hiring

It also depends on the causes you support

Or the geographical area you’re located in

So don’t be afraid to experiment

Whether it’s easy or difficult to get matches

Depends entirely on

How specific your requirements are

Or whether you don’t have any requirements at all

And simply say “Yes” to everything

That said, there is one minimum requirement:

You must select the profile types you’re hiring

That’s the first thing we match on

And the most important one

Beyond that,

You’re completely free

To fine-tune everything else

So if you’re getting too many matches – or too few

Go back and review the choices you made

When you created your profile

That’s why I can’t give you a simple answer

To how many boxes you should tick

Try different settings

Until you’re happy

And you’re matching with exactly the number of candidates

That suits your needs

You can manage everything

In your profile settings

You can even completely change your profile

Although I wouldn’t recommend it

After all, most companies don’t switch their industry overnight

From sales one day

To pharmaceuticals the next

Good luck finding the right candidates!
